Thanks Dolph, that’s helpful. For backwards compatibility reasons we need to preserve legacy access control list behavior for projects/users in the default domain only. To achieve that, we need to persist the project’s domain id in Swift. If a project subsequently moved to/from the default domain then Swift wouldn’t ‘break’ but would potentially (dis)allow legacy ACLs based on stale domain information.
If the backwards compatibility feature in Swift were configurable (on/off) then, as you suggest, some text alongside the Keystone config option (and corresponding in Swift) can act as a warning not to enable both options.

The change makes two assumptions that I’d like to double-check with keystone folks: 1. That a project can never move from one domain to another. We're moving in this direction, at least. In Grizzly and Havana, we made no such restriction. In Icehouse, we introduced such a restriction by default, but it can be disabled. So far, we haven't gotten any complaints about adding the restriction, so maybe we should just add additional help text to the option in our config about why you would never want to disable the restriction, citing how it would break swift? 2. That the underscore character cannot appear in a valid domain id – more specifically, that the string ‘_unknown’ cannot be confused with a domain id. That's fairly sound. All of our domain ID's are system-assigned as UUIDs, except for the "default" domain which has an explicit id='default'. We don't do anything to validate the assumption, though. Are those safe assumptions?
